I made this a while back, but I'm submitting it now, 'cause it's a promo poster for:
If you're a fan of ghibli come and join *shameless plug*

Okay this was made from the tiniest image I have ever worked with: >>Click<<. And it was hell. Literally.
Anyways I vectored Nausicaa and this was the only easy thing to make in the whole wallie.
Then I vectored all the basic shapes from the whole bg and then painted over them - that took freaking forever... (thank
God I 'borrowed' my sis' tablet ~thanks Hatsu~) I'm really proud of the flowers - they look really good (at least I
think so I even made the colouring). After all the painting job I started working with textures and filters (to some
extend) and blending modes. I added some (little) noise to the bg since it's a ghibli trademark - they always make the
character stand out on all their images and I wanted to maintain this tendency...
After finishing the whole thing I proudly showed it to abul who happily showed me a bigger version of the scan (but it
was darker than this on and the flowers were simply black so overall I'm happy I used this). At that time I was simply
frustrated that I hadn't looked more thoroughly for a better quality scan... nonetheless I used it as a reference pic
and fixed some little things here and there and added some more detailing to the bg.

the background is really amazing! I like all those details of the flowers and plants. i like the shadows on the bg as
well. very beautifully done again! great expression and pose of the character. great work!

u already konw how much i love this and the only reason it gets less faves than my kiki shwit is my fanserviced past
-_-
70 layers? o_0 it would take 8-9 for me, maybe because i always merge layers XD
vector is perfect5 and looks as good as if u made it of the hq pic :)
gorgeous wall, and i feel so bad it only has freaking 10 faves OX

Dude, this is AMAZING. I've tried to vector from scans that small and have given up VERY quickly. The bg is beautiful
and I like that you maintained the separation between Nausicaa and the bg. Great work.

That image is really tiny, I couldn't stand vectoring of something this small.
The fact that it's vectored of such a small image makes your wall more awesome somehow XD.
Great vector of Nausicaa and the background is great, the vase and flowers are so pretty I wish I could see more of them
in the wall.
